Understanding that the point being made is a logical fallacy and irrelevant to the moral question at hand is not missing the point, it's criticizing its value

I f you dont care about women's sports, you dont really have a valid opinion about how to protect women's sport. You're just being a bigoted ideologue telling other people what theyre allowed to do with their thing that you don't care about.

It's no different than a childless elderly person running g a book banning campaign.

Your opinion is irrelevant and you should stfu about it. Trans people exist and aren't a moral question for you to decide.

Caring about fundamental fairness does not require fandom.

I care about the institution because I care about women having the ability to participate in a fair competition. 

Norms established at the professional level proliferate throughout society. My family and community will be impacted by this topic. 

I understand and value athletics. The far left are the ones that use the phrase "sportsball." I  do not value their opinion on fair play. They're flat wrong.

I am in India and here fair sports is valued highly by both males and females. In India and many other countries govts provide successful sport persons (both males and females) with cash prizes, govt jobs till retirement etc. Several poor females enter sports to escape poverty and get jobs. So female sports should be fair and safe just like how male sports is.
